We at Lime and our family of companies (collectively “Lime,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) are strongly committed to transparency and we want you (“you” or “your”) to understand how we collect, use, protect and share your personal information.
As detailed in our Privacy Notice, we use cookies and similar technologies [such as pixel and tags] (collectively referred to as “cookies”) to provide the Services (as defined in the Privacy Notice). We use cookies on our sites and mobile applications and this cookies policy (“Policy”) explains how we use cookies in connection with our Services.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your computer or other device when you visit certain online pages that record your preferences and actions. Cookies enable our systems to recognise your browser or device and help the efficient operation of our Services.
What types of cookies do we use?
We use both “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies. We use a session cookie to identify you during a particular visit to Lime. Session cookies expire after a short time, or when you close your web browser after your visit. We use a persistent cookie to identify you over a longer period of time. Persistent cookies remain on your device for the set period of time specified in the cookie.
We do not use flash cookies, web storage, web beacons or other technologies that track your browsing history across multiple apps or websites.
For what purposes do we use cookies?
Category of Use | Description |
Preferences | We use cookies to remember your settings and preferences, like the language you prefer. They can help you fill out forms on Lime more easily. |
Authentication | We use cookies to remind us who you are and to find your account information in our database when you access our Services so you do not need to log in at every visit, which helps us to provide you with service tailored to your specific needs and interests. |
Security | We use cookies to enable and support our security features and as one way to help us detect malicious activity when someone might be trying to hack your account. |
Advertising | We may use cookies to help us show you relevant advertising both on and off the Lime site. For example, cookies allow us to deliver ads to people who have visited others’ websites and to recommend our products and services based on that activity. Our partners may also use cookies to determine whether we have shown an ad and how it performed, or provide us with information about how you interact with ads. |
Performance and Analytics | We use cookies to make our Services better. Using cookies, we and our partners generate analytics regarding your use of our Services, to monitor traffic, improve the Services, and make our Services easier to use, and more relevant, for you. |
What third-party cookies do we use?
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”), on our apps [and website]. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how you interact with and use the Services, compile reports on the related activities, and provide other services related to activity and usage. Google Analytics may collect information such as your IP address, time of visit, whether you are a return visitor, and any referring website or app. The information generated by Google Analytics will be transmitted to and stored by Google and will be subject to Google’s privacy policies.

We may partner with third party advertising companies to better provide advertisements about our goods and services that may be of interest to you. These third-party advertisers may use cookies to collect information about you when you use the Services. They may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites, apps, or other online services. They may use this information to provide you with interest-based advertising or other targeted content.
Third-party ad serving companies and other unaffiliated advertisers also display advertisements on our Services. As part of their service, they may place a separate cookie on your computer to collect information such as your IP address, browser type, the server your computer is logged onto, the area code and zip code associated with your server, and whether you responded to a particular advertisement. For a listing of the third party companies we may allow to place cookies to serve ads on the Services, click <here>. We do not control these third parties’ cookies, how they may be used, or the information they may collect, and we are not responsible for the privacy policies or the content of those third parties. Please visit the sites of those businesses at the links above to review their privacy and cookie policies. We may add or change the list of third party ad servers from time to time and we encourage you regularly to check this section for changes.
